Little Chao,s Advice.

A little friend of mine, while visiting out of town for few days, enjoyed inn mensely the strangeness of his rural sur roundings. He had not been out of the city since he was old enough to take cog nizance of country ways and character istics, and his comments on what be saw occasioned much amusement to his pa rents and the family where he was visit ing. The other day, as he sat enjoying a piece of cake under the shade of the trees, the hens gathered about him to catch the crumbs that fell from his chub- by hands, and among them was Brahma chicken sparsely provided, as these chick ems frequently are, with feathers. The little fellow gazed down with reproach. ful eye at the chicken sc lily provided with feathery garb, and his protest finally came: ''Go n tell your ma to dress you and don't be goin' wound wifout nc clothes on.

Dand,fiea Er.nc,, Sailors.

Going down the harbor day or two since was struck with the graceful ap- .pearance of the great French ram which, with its-le..s white hull and backward sloping masts and smokestack, looked ex- ceedingly rakish. As general rule, the new ironclads are cumbrous looking ob- jects, but the French man of war ap- peared as light and airy as if she had not been built upon modern scientific princi- pies of opposing great resistance to the enormous projectiles of advanced gum nery. I looked with admiration on the graceful lines of the ram, and thought that if vessel had to be run down by another there would be certain satisfac- ton in having the operation performed by such keen and penetrating brow. Tho French sailors whom I SEW pulling from one of the wharves to their slfif looked as s'trig" as their vessel, and yei there was lack of that salty expression about them which is so noticeable in the British and American man-o'-warsman

peeulia-ltl0s of hungarian stustc.

Iremember once csl1ing distinguished Polish lady, herself notable musician and pupil of the great Chopin, whether she ever played Hungarian music. "No, :" she answered, II cannot play it; there is something in that music which I have not got-something which is wanting in me-" What was wanting came to un- derstand later, when became familiar with Hungarian music as rendered by the Tzigane players. It was the training of a gypsy s whole life which was want ing here-a training which alone teaches the secret of deciphering those wild strains which seem borrowed from the voice of the tempest or stolen from whispering reeds. In order to have played the Hun garian music aright she would have re- quired to have slept on mountain tops during a score of years, to have been awakened by fallen dews, to have shared the food of eagles and squirrels, and have been on equally familiar terms with stags and snakes conditions which unfortu- nately lie quite out of the reach of deli cate Polish ladies. s.-Blackwood' Maga- zinc

Guarding Bank Note Plates.

These plates are surrounded with 1n1- penetrable safeguards. The large room, nearly the full length of the building, is occupied by only the engravers at the windows, MT. O'Neil, the chief engraver, and the custodian. On one side of the room is railing and wire screen, such as are seen in banks, behind which are the desks of Mir. O'Neil and his bookkeeper. On the other side of the room, at the door of the vault, is similar inclosure, where sits the custodian of the plates, dies, rolls, and other property. When the chief en- graver comes in the morning he makes a requisition upon the custodian for such of these precious bits of steel as he wants. Each piece has its name or designation, whether it is a bit of lathe work, a vignette, or an entire plate, and when they are surrendered to the chief en- graver upon requisition an entry is made upon the books of the custodian. The bookkeeper or custodian for Mir. O'Neil makes an entry on his books also, to show what he has received. Then, as the engravers want the different pieces of work, a similar account is kept with them, and no man can leave the room until the books show that every piece of engraving that he had in his possession has been returned, and he has a note from the chief engraver to show that such is the case. The watchmen would not let them out of the building without this. When bell sounds at noon the en- gravers go to lunch, but not outside the building.
 When the work is over for the day the T his subordinates are balanced, to show that each has returned all the work placed in his custody. The rolls and dies and plates are returned by tie chief engraver to the custodian from whom be got them, and if no piece is missing his requisition is returned to him, and the property locked in the vault for the night. Should it ever happen that anything was missing, even if it were but the smallest fragment of engraving, no one would be permitted to leave until it was found. A complete record is thus kept of every piece, so that you can tell just where it was at any time, how long it was in any ones GUS tody, and what he had it for.
 ''We know" said MT. O'Neil to re porter to whom Chief Graves had ex tended the freedom of the building, 'sws know that whatever may be said abou commercials being printed from govern ment plates, that there never was one s' printed. There never was plate stolen There is no plate that has ever been mad that is not in the vault there, and ever, one can be accounted for for every min ute of time. You cannot name ittl out of the way national bank but that W have the plate for its notes in that vault and can tell you all about it, from tn names of the men who worked on it t everybody who has ever touched it at an
 time. Washington Star.

Planting a pimento Grove.

The planters of Jamaica long ago found out that the birds can make much better pimento or allspice groves than can be made by man. As consequence the work of planting, or more properly of sowing, is left entirely to the birds, mans share of the labor being confined simply to chopping over the piece of woodland which it is proposed to convert into a spice grove.
 After the first rains following the clear ing number of young pi1nento plants make their appearance. The birds, fit ting about among the fallen timber all through the fruit season, drop the seeds everywhere, under conditions which in- sure their immediate fertilization, and the partial shade afforded by the fallen timber is just what is required to foster the young plants growth. By the time the timber is rotten the planter has his pimento grove well developed, and re- quiring only to be thinned out to render it source of profit for many years. dubon Magazine.

New Comers from tbe Countrv.

There was an odd incident at one of the seashore places one day last week. A couple of ladies, who do not live in Bos- ton. and whose unpretentious way of life had perhaps led them to fear that they might be looked down upon by Boston people, had taken board at hotel much patronized by Bostonians of an excellent sort. Walking about the corridor of the house on the first evening after their ar rival, and observing with an interest nat ural in new corners the people about them, they happened to observe two ladies stand ing in the corridor not far away. It struck the younger of the two new corners, who is little short sighted, that these two ladies whom she saw in the corridor were quite shabby in appearance. She turned to her companion and whispered:
 ''Well, I guess we can hold up ou heads with this sort of people.
 The elder seized her handkerchief in { vain attempt to smother a hearty laugh They had been looking at their own re lection in a big mirror.-Boston Tran script,

Character Tested by Musical Note.

Now it is fact, well known and be- yond dispute. that every animate or in animate structure responds to some chord or note of music, called, I believe, the dominant. We have all felt some build ing vibrate in unison with the puisation of some note of a musical instrument; we have felt creepy" shivers run through US as some musical chord is sounded. It is well known that animals are strangely affected by certain harmonies.
 Some day, when civilization has ad- vanced, believe that these evidences oi psychological structure will be better un- derstood. It will be recognized that vice and virtue are in accord with different harmonies, and yield to the power of diff ferent dominants; and, when once tht power of classification is made, and tht disclosures of the dominant understood then the extent and influence of the dom inant will be psychological test to de fine the character and ruling passions o mem s nature, and to decide the fitness o men for the various pursuits of life, ana even for life itself.

Effects of Mental Starvation.

A large part of the failures, the disap- pointments, the inferior work, the poor thinking, the shallow reasoning, the lack of kindly feeling and sympathetic action which af1ict mankind, is due to the lack of nourishment afforded to the faculties. They are starved, consequently feeble and inefficient. Men plead the lack of time to enrich their minds, to stimulate their powers. to feed their moral natures. As well might the bird with dropping wing and declining strength plead that he had so many flights to take in midair that he had no time to pick the corn from the field or the fruit from the tree to sustain him in those flights.

Crops in Mexico.

Between San Juan del Rio and Quere- taro the Mexican Central traverses the fields of one Mexican farmer who raises 20,00O bushels of wheat year. There are six or seven haciendas in the same To- cality where the crops reach 10, 900 bush els; and 10, 900 bushels of wheat means 10000 bushels of corn, 2,000 bushels of peas, and 6,000 bushels of beans on the same hacienda. That is the way the Mexican farmer of this part of the coun- try diversifies his crops. He raises wheat, corn, beans, and peas in about the pro portion given. Occasionally there is a specialist like the farmer near Queretaro who goes into the raising of chile, the hot peppers of this country. This man usu- ally has 60,0O0 chile plants or vines Globe Democrat.

A New Article.

Vulcabeston is the name of new arti- cle intending to combine all the valuable qualities of asbestos and india rubber. It forms a substance of the toughness of ,horn, although it can be made of any de- 'gree of fiexibility; it is non-conductor of electricity, and stands the severest test of acids, steam, gases, etc. One of the most important uses of the new article is as molded piston rod packing ring, made to fit any sized rod or stuffing box, and to be sprung in place with slight pressure, ore or more rings to be used, as desired, and forming a perfectly tight steam joint. These rings do not wear the rod, and they are self lubricating. Chicago News.

Light for 1nstanssneou. Photographs.

At recent meeting of the Berlin Phy- sical society Professor c. W. Vogel com municated the most recent discovery in connection with instantaneous photogra- phy, by which it is now possible to obtain instantaneous photographs not cnly at night, but also in the darkest places Messrs. Goedicke and Miethe have pre- pared a mixture of puiverized nagne- siurn, chloride of potash and sulphide of antimony, which when ignited produces an explosive, lightning like illumination of such intensity that by means of it an instantaneous photograph can be taken. The speaker then gave demonstration of the discovery by taking photographs of several persons present. He used the artificial light, of which each flash lasted one-fortieth of second, and in 9 few minutes produced picture during the meeting. The powders. as prepared by the discoverers, cost only Q few pfeanigs each, and will hence readily come into general Scientific American.

A Sensible Sort of Summer vacation-No
 Mosquitoes, No Malaria.
 ''No, I am not going to the country this summer" said rich and decidedly original friend of mine, the other day, in New York, in response to the stereotyped question which greets everybody at this season of the year. ''I shall spend a month in the mountains in the autumn when the foliage begins to turn, but the summer I shall spend in my roof garden. !" I suppose I stared at him blankly, for he laughed, and added: "Yes, my roof gar den; come up and see it. All the advan- tages of the country, no mosquitoes, no malaria, cool air, large airy bedrooms, house with all modern improvements, and all that sort of thing. Come up and dine with me and I will show you."
 We strolled up the avenue and entered his house, on Murray hill. After capi- tai dinner my friend smiled as he led the way to the elevator.
 ''We will have coffee and cigars in the garden"
 When had ascended the stairway and stepped through the scuttle could hardly believe that was on the top of one of the commonplace brown stone houses of fash ionable New York The flat roof had been covered with a narrow slated floor ing. Potted plants and shrubs in boxes | delighted the eye, relieved the sharp an- | gles of the caves, and hid the chimneys. | A large marquee, such as we see on country lawns, protected us from the sun, and rugs, cane easy chairs, ham, mocks, two or three small bamboo Il Al <,f C1,.r0ea 1Or, terms made the roof seem bit of fairy | land.
 | 'What do you think of it ?'' he said gayly, as we seated ourselves, and his wife made the coffee in one of those French balance coffee pots, which make the best coffee in the world. It was charming, and I told him so.

 It was awful jolly, and wonder tha more people do not follow my friend example. During the evening half dozen people dropped in and were show up to the roof.

4 Kater Main Bnr.fed.

WASHINGTON, Sept. I7.-Another water
famine is upon the greater portion Of this city,
caused by the breaking of thirty-six-inch
main, which supplies all Of the city north of L
street. This break is the most serious that
has yet occurred, and it is feared that the
northern part of the city will be without water
for some days 10 come The break occurred
about o'clock this morning, without mo.
ment's warning, and with a loud report the
water spouted up into the aif on the side of L
street, between Twentieth and Twenty.6rst
streets. The column Of water burst from the
pavement with roar that could be heard
squares away. L street from the scene of the
accident to Twenty first was one great river Of
water, pouring along like torrent, and deep
enough TO float boats. The damage to prop
erty is considerable, but this is as nothing to
the inconvenience of thousands Of citizens, and
to the unavoidable disasters in case Of fire.
The public wells are exhausted at an early
hour, and thousands Of people with buckets in
their hands were walking from place to place
trying to obtain enough water to prepare their
morning meals.
